Nekoliko vijesti i linkova za Palestinu/Izrael:Ali Abunimah: The day the world became GazaDespite the predictable and shameless US reaction, international condemnation has been unusually robust. In his speech to the Turkish parliament following the attack, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish prime minister, denounced Israeli "state terrorism" and demanded that the international community exact a price. Erdogan vowed that "Turkey will never turn its back on Gaza," and that it would continue its campaign to lift the blockade and hold Israel accountable even if it had to do so alone. There are hopeful signs it may not have to. European and other countries summoned Israeli ambassadors and several recalled their envoys from Tel Aviv. Franco Frattini, the Italian foreign minister and one of Israel's staunchest apologists in Europe, said his country "absolutely deplored the slaying of civilians" and demanded that Israel "must give an explanation to the international community" of killings he deemed "absolutely unacceptable, whatever the flotilla's aims". Small countries showed the greatest courage and clarity. Nicaragua suspended diplomatic ties completely, citing Israel's "illegal attack".
